Not sure where to put my question but since the person I am trying to help is disabled, here goes.
This person has had a large sum on money stolen whilst living in a care home (by the then manager). He was a signatory on her building society account and withdrew a number of cheques which he claims were for car leasing. Some were paid to a local health authority and others to the home in which she lived. These cheques range in date from 2000 to 2005. The information on the back of these cheques belongs to the organisation to whom these cheques were written. However, I have managed to get permission from one organisation and have copies of two of the cheques. Does anyone know what this information means, please?
Left to right: 8 digits - 4 digits - 6 digits which I think is the sort code of Barclays main clearing centre - 6 digits which is the date - 5 digits which is the sum. Any help would be greatfly appreciated.
The bank are not keen to help because they say no fraud has taken place since the person withdrawing the cheques had every right to do so, stolen or otherwise!

Why have you not contacted the police? They will have a Vulnerable Persons Officer who can deal with this.Gone ... or have I?0

Cant help but agree with DMG24, if she is your friend and you want to help you must go to the police.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
The case went through court in 2007 and he got 12 months. However, much was missed by police (possibly a cover up). It took me nearly five years to get the financial information from the home and then work out what else had been taken. I have informed police but they will not reopen the case. I am going to the IPCC shortly with my complaint. I believe these cheques may have been put into fake accounts which is why I need the information.0

Why on earth do you think the police would be covering something up?Gone ... or have I?0 -
Because the CE of this charity reported the thefts to the Divisional Commander rather than the local police station. Police later told me that this is the same as not reporting it. Care Manager reported it in the finish. There should have been an investigation into how it was reported but it didn't happen. Lots of things have happened which point to a cover up.0

So why are you reporting it four years after the case went to court?Gone ... or have I?0 -
this is obviously a complex matter,one that cant be helped by posting it on the internet,the best place to discuss this is a solicitors office0

Thank you for your suggestion, John. I am due to see my solicitor this week. I have so much evidence against the care home but they are refusing to give in. If my theory is correct I may well approach the national press - it's a huge story.0

I don't know if anyone out there can help me again, please? It's the same matter.
I have just managed to get a copy invoice from care home dating back to 2001. It states that £922.38 was paid per quarter for a car leased to disabled person in the home. The invoice is from the NHS and has a PGO number (8 digits). Does anyone know what this is, please? I have Googled it and NHS pensions comes up.
It also has a VAT number, which I think is fake.
Any comments welcome.0 -
Where in the NHS is it from, it would not just say 'NHS'? Have you verified the VAT number?0
